Installing the Handle
Folding or unfolding the handle improperly can
pinch, stretch, or damage one or more of the
cables. Any pinched, stretched, or damaged cable
may cause an operational failure that results in an
unsafe operating condition.
• Do not pinch, stretch, or damage the cables.
• Handle the cables with care when folding or
unfolding the handle.
• Do not use the lawn mower if one or more of the
cables are pinched, stretched, or damaged.
Contact your Authorized Service Dealer.
